In some, at least, countries of the Northern Hemisphere, there is an association south=noon and north=midnight. In Slavic languages, the words for north and south are (or in some were) midnight and noon (in Russian, полночь and полдень). In Italian there is, obviously, the same association, since they named their southern part of the country Mezzogiorno (meaning noon). What about English? Is there anything similar in your language?
